Bill Ladson, of Nationals.MLB.com, reports Washington Nationals 1B Wil Cordero (knee) plans on protecting his left knee by wearing turf shoes instead of spikes. His left knee becomes sore when wearing spikes, and he just came off the DL recently due to a torn medial meniscus in his left knee.

Washington Nationals 1B Wil Cordero (knee) is expected to be activated from the disabled list later this week, according to Bill Ladson of Nationals.MLB.com. Cordero, who suffered a torn medial meniscus, is 4-for-8 with an RBI in a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg.
